SOMERSET, MASS. (WHDH) - A driver is facing charges of operating under the influence after police said he crashed into a house in Somerset.
A witness told police the driver appeared to be speeding on Pleasant Street before he struck a snowbank. He then allegedly landed on top of another vehicle before crashing into the house.
Karen and Carlos Campos, whose home was hit by the car, were not home at the time. When they pulled up after a night out for Valentine’s Day, they were shocked.
“I thought about my dogs. It smashed the door from the pressure and if the dogs were in there, they would have been trapped. And there was glass everywhere,” said Karen Campos.
The driver was seriously injured and taken to the hospital. Police said they found alcohol inside and outside the vehicle and the driver will be charged with OUI. Carlos Campos said he is relieved that no one was killed.
“That’s a good thing. Everybody’s alive, the driver lived. We can always fix the house,” said Carlos Campos.
